Phosphoric acid, also known as orthophosphoric acid or phosphoric(V) acid, is a weak acid with the chemical formula H3PO4. It is normally encountered as a colorless, syrup of 85% concentration in water. The pure compound is a colorless solid. Phosphoric acid is commonly encountered in chemical laboratories as an 85% aqueous solution, which is a colorless, odorless, and non-volatile syrupy liquid. Although phosphoric acid does not meet the strict definition of a strong acid, the 85% solution can still severely irritate the skin and damage the eyes. |
